You probably don't need Redux if it's just simple persistence of data. The simplest option is just to read and write a blob of JSON using the AsyncStorage API: https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs&#x2F

What about 'view state' such as which tokens have been typed into a typeahead/tagging style input? Or the expansion state of levels of a tree view? The active tab of a tabbed UI?

I think manual DOM manipulation and lack of canonical state representation are both sources of spaghetti code; which one hurts more depends on the type of app you're building. Having the DOM as your canonical representation of state is

Sorry, I should have said 'the question' rather than 'your question'. The original article attempted to pull in the author's issues with a bunch of React-adjacent technologies to what was purportedly a criticism of

This part of the original article was referring to React Native. React != React Native, they are two separate projects. I realise that doesn't answer your question (which seems to be 'please justify React Native having a lot of op

I think you mean 'on average, nuclear is safer than rooftop solar'. How about nuclear vs. large scale solar? Large scale solar + wind? These are more realistic equivalents to nuclear.

This post is misleading throughout. The article shows snippets from the Redux and React Router docs, implying they are realistic examples of the way that typical React code should look, however, they are clearly snippets which are trying to

PCE has very simple code, and unlike Basilisk II, doesn't make use of threads (which Emscripten didn't support at the time). Basilisk II also uses a SIGSEGV handler to catch invalid memory accesses, this would have to be coded aro

Interesting. What browser are you using?

I did the initial work of porting this emulator to the browser (most credit should go to the original emulator author however: http://hampa.ch/pce ). I wrote up the process and hacks that went in to making this possible here

One thing I like about Flow for small projects is that you can use the Flow 'comment syntax' so that you can start using Flow and leaning on the typechecker without adding any transpilation setup at all. Flow's inference mean

Coming from Javascript, Typescript and Flow have huge benefits which a much smaller learning curve than going straight to Elm. I recommend people who don't have experience with static types start with one of those two.

Rather than speculating, you can find out why you're seeing a particular ad on fb. There's a drop down on each ad which includes a menu item which explains the targeting method used: https://www.google.com/amp&#x2F

I mean if you really want to be loose with the type of your component's state, you can just declare its type as Object, eg. class MyComponent extends React.Component { state: Object; constructor(props) { supe

If it was created by humans then that would constitute a racist act. This system was created by humans.

Even if it was no-one's intent that the system is racially biased, allowing such a system to continue operate after learning of such a bias is a racist act.

That's fine. When you want to learn what's in the black box you can dig into it. The key is unblocking people on their path to their initial goal (eg. learn React) so they don't give up after getting stuck on a prerequisite (

You can create one that you only use for work, but having an account (even if it's just a blank one) is kind of necessary. Edit: I don't know if you need one to apply, just to work

React is a view-centric component system. It's primarily used for view-related stuff, but the component abstraction is pretty powerful, so they can be useful in lightweight cases for application structure too (YMMV here). React Native

You seem to be mistaken. You don't need to create components if you just want to render some divs. You can just do const {render} = require('react-dom'); const {DOM} = require('react'); render(
